Depending on player turn out, most matches will likely be Best of 3s until the Semi-Finals which will be a Best of 5. The Finals will be a Best of 7. Each round will have a default map selected by myself, and the loser of that map can pick the map from that point forward. Only maps within the current map pool allowed.
A few days ago, CGS was not planning on having a StarCraft II event. They said the last few years, turn out was low. Last year, only three people showed up. I told them we could do better, so today we have a StarCraft II tournament at the Carolina Gaming Summit.
They are prepared to give out a really awesome plaque for first prize. Second and third prize will receive trophies as well. But I think we can do better, so I set up a Matcherino crowd-funding page where you can help support local talent.
- 1st Prize: 75% of crowd-funding & a plaque
- 2nd Prize: 25% of crowd-funding & a trophy
- 3rd Prize: A trophy
I will also provide an hour of coaching (scheduled after the event) for the best-placing Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum player.
